I guess I can see why this was compared to A Secret History (one of my favorites), but it fell short of that for me. I had trouble connecting to these characters. Possibly because the narrators’ heavy accents and Irish slang that confused me. Not trying to give much away here, but someone goes missing and no one seems to notice or really care for like days?? That confused me. I bet if I had read this in print, I would have liked it better.
Graphic: Torture
Moderate: Murder
